Despite the somber national mood (9/11 commemorations, war threats, and the like), rappers kept us in stitches this week. Â Our entries with one notable exception, were joke-filled and light-hearted. Â Below, the Lines of the Week:
5.  “We can ball, or I can let this AR teach a seminar on how to cease a ni**a’s heartbeat/This ain’t art, this is Shark Week” — Fashawn, ‘El Chapo Baby’ lyrics
Fashawn completely wrecks this long “Picasso Baby” freestyle. Â Comparing his “eating” of his rap opponents to the destruction wrought by our favorite TV guilty pleasure made us extremely happy.
4.  “The reason it’s confusing/Alicia Silverstone in that movie with hair — you can’t share with the clueless” — Loaded Lux, ‘Sway in the Morning Freestyle’ lyrics
Lux has a new mixtape, which we love.  But this freestyle pun really won our hearts.  We can’t remember the last time we heard a good pun on “Cher.”  It’s certainly a hell of a lot better than this one.
3.  “I throw acid on your eyelids/Then I piss on your eyes, call it iPiss” — NORE, ‘Judo’ lyrics
We can’t claim to understand this one at all. Â Is it a weird, nonsensical iPhone joke? Â Is he just saying “eye piss”? Â Is that a thing? Â NORE left us puzzled with this, but still managed to get us to crack up.
2.  “By the sea and beach/From my room, you could see the beach/Gucci linens, see the sheets, green and peach/Chandeliers out your reach/Smoking that Chong and Cheech/Two girls in thongs, Dawn and Keish’, off the leash” — Cam’ron, ‘Duckin’ Onetime’ lyrics
Killa Cam is better than just about anyone else at long strings of rhymes. Â Here, he keeps the vowel sounds going through a serious of increasingly ridiculous scenarios.
1.  “Every time I turn around, my ni**as dying/So I like walking in the rain so you can’t see me crying/You think I’m walking, but I’m flying/Immune to the sirens, in tune with the Mayans” — A.G., ‘It’s Nuthin’ lyrics
It wasn’t all jokes this week. Â A.G. took us through on an emotional ride through his psyche on this tune, and we come out the other end sadder but wiser.
